I was recently prescribed Lisdexamfetamine 70mg capsules for my ADHD. I've heard a lot about the potential side effects, and I'm a bit worried, as I've tried other medications in the past. I've also been reading about the medication being used to treat Binge Eating Disorder (BED) in adults. I'm curious to know if anyone else has been prescribed this medication for either condition and what their experiences have been like. I'd love to hear about the positive effects as well as any side effects you've encountered. Also, for those who have been on this medication for a while, how has it impacted your daily life and overall well-being? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've had a really positive experience with Lisdexamfetamine. I've noticed improved focus and better control over my impulses. However, I did have some trouble sleeping at first, but that went away after a few days. It's amazing how much my life has improved since starting this medication.

I've been on Lisdexamfetamine for a while now, and I've noticed that it does help with my ADHD symptoms. However, I've been experiencing some muscle pain and weakness, and it's making it hard to work out. Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

Be careful with this medication. I know someone who had a really bad reaction to it. They started feeling really sick. They had a severe rash all over their body, and they were having trouble breathing. Doctors had to take them off it immediately.

I was prescribed Lisdexamfetamine for BED, and it's helped a lot with controlling my urges to binge eat. I've lost some weight and feel more in control of my eating habits. However, I did experience some dry mouth and constipation, which were a bit annoying but manageable. It's important to stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet while on this medication.

I've been on Lisdexamfetamine for a few months now, and I've noticed that my appetite has decreased significantly. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing, as I've lost some weight, but I'm also worried about not getting enough nutrients. Has anyone else experienced this, and how did you manage it?

Just a heads up, but make sure to tell your doctor about any other medications you're taking. I had a friend who took Lisdexamfetamine with something else and ended up in the ER with serotonin syndrome. Scary stuff.

I've been on Lisdexamfetamine for a few weeks, and I've noticed that I'm getting really anxious, more so than I thought it would be. Should I be worried about this, or will it pass as my body gets used to the medication?
